The director may conduct supplemental studies of the initial
blood specimen collected pursuant to rule
3701-55-05 of the Administrative
Code for the purpose of determining whether additional genetic, endocrine, or
metabolic screening is necessary. The results of such supplemental studies will
assist in determining whether additional screening can help detect other
genetic, endocrine or metabolic disorders that cause disability if undiagnosed
and untreated for which a medically accepted treatment is available. No
additional blood samples or specimens shall
will be required to conduct a supplemental study
or screening.
(A) Each supplemental
screening shall
will be completed by the bureau of public health
laboratory within seven business days after receiving the properly collected
and submitted specimen.
(B) If upon
supplemental screening of a specimen, the
bureau of public health laboratory
determines that a result indicates a potential risk for one or more of the
supplemental screenings disorders, the
director shall
will
communicate the results to the following
person, as applicable:
(1) If the child was born in a hospital or
freestanding birthing center, to the child's attending physician, certified
nurse midwife, certified nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist. If
the director is unable to contact the attending physician, certified nurse
midwife, certified nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist, the
director shall
will communicate the results to the newborn screening
coordinator at the facility where the child was born.
(2) If the child was not born in a
hospital
or
freestanding birthing center, the
director shall
will
communicate the results to:
(a) The attending
physician, certified nurse midwife, certified nurse practitioner or the
clinical nurse specialist in attendance; or
(b) The health commissioner of the health
district in which the mother, legal guardian, or legal custodian resides, if
there was no attending physician, certified nurse midwife, certified nurse
practitioner or clinical nurse specialist in attendance. The health
commissioner shall
will make a reasonable effort to locate the child's
mother, legal guardian or legal custodian of the child, and to notify the
mother, legal guardian or legal custodian of the child of the results of the
supplemental screening.
